Batata Vada is a very popular gujarati and maharashtrian snack. Batata means potatoes and vada means dumplings. Potato mixture is made rolled into small balls, coated with gram flour and deep fried. As gujarati we use gram flour in a lot of dishes like Bharva Mirchi & Gunda, Patra, Guvar Dhokli, Gathiya etc. Before marriage I was never fond of any gram flour dishes but due to my husband now even I have started liking gram flour items. Whenever we make bataka vada we surely also make mirchi pakoras. Hot pakoras tastes best with tea or spicy chutney on a rainy day. So lets proceed step by step.
In a bowl sieve gram flour and add salt, red chilli powder & asafetida.
Mix well and slowly add water and make paste by stirring with a spoon.
For the stuffing boil the potatoes in pressure cooker. Peel the skin and mash the potatoes. Add red chilli powder, salt, sugar, garam masala, finely cut coriander leaves, green chillies, ginger and lemon juice.
Mix all the ingredients well and add raisins.
Now take portion of mixture and make small balls leave some mixture aside because this same mixture we will use to stuff chillies.
Take the same stuffing and fill it in the slit green chillies.
Our potato balls and mirchi are stuffed and ready for deep frying.
Heat oil in a Kadai and add 1 tablespoon hot oil to the prepared gram flour paste. It will make the pakoras very soft.
Deep fry the balls on a medium flame.
The balls should turn golden brown from all sides.
Now fry the mirchi on medium flame.
Till the mirchis turn golden brown.
Our Batata Vada and Mirchi Pakoras are ready.
